It’s hard to see exactly what is causing the bump, but I would recommend you see a dermatologist and he/she might suggest steroid injection to help decrease the inflammation if the bump is an acne cyst. Microneedling with PRP can be effective to decrease pores. I wouldn’t recommend the dermaroller because it’s hard to navigate it over the nose.

First of all these issues are very common and can be addressed by either a Plastic Surgeon or Derm as long as they have the proper treatment for you. MicroNeedling or Collogen Induction Therapy is probably the best treatment plan for you. You might need 3 to 6 treatments to achieve the results you want but it is little to no downtime. Good Luck!

Red bumps elevated bumps red pores on your nose and how to treat them. For your red bumps you can actually take those down with a laser. If these are active acne I would give you a trial of topical and oral antibiotics to treat these including chemical peels. Before the ice pick scars or any depressed cars you will need special wiring techniques to raise them up. We have a 5-7 step process that can treat all types of acne scars in about 2 hours. For your nose it won't take quite as long probably it will take about 30 minutes
